We can’t be held down,
we’re a ball bouncing back,
an unsinkable raft,
a bowl that won’t crack.
.
We can never be slain,
our core’s made of steel,
wherever we’re punctured
we readily heal.
.
Trample on us
and we’ll spring back to life,
we cut to the truth
like an ever-sharp knife.
.
We’re a magical candle
that never stops burning,
a wise inner child
who never stops learning.
.
Knock on our window’s
unbreakable glass,
mow us down, we’ll grow back
like invincible grass.
.
Light as a bubble
we can’t be detained —
we’ll rise towards the light
and ever remain.

We need to vote — for wisdom, love, truth, integrity, compassion, understanding, tolerance, kindness, common sense, and justice. We need to vote for candidates who will encompass as many of those traits as possible (no matter their party).
We need to vote for those who will join the rest of the world in protecting Mother Earth. We must change this downhill slide, for the sake of our children, our grandchildren, and all future generations. Thank you. ❤
Love, B. ❤
